Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 16 Review

Samsung Galaxy Book5 Pro 16 with Core Ultra 7 258V, 32 GB soldered LPDDR5X, 1 TB SSD and a 16-inch 2880x1800 120 Hz OLED touchscreen.

This 1.22 kg, 16-inch thin-and-light laptop uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 258V with 8 cores and integrated Arc 140V graphics. The OLED touchscreen is 2880x1800 at 120 Hz, the battery is 76 Wh, and it includes Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 7. It has 32 GB of soldered LPDDR5X and a single 1 TB NVMe M.2 slot, so memory and storage are fixed after purchase. Graphics are integrated only, so they are not meant for heavy gaming or GPU rendering.

Overview

The Galaxy Book5 Pro 16 pairs Intel's Lunar Lake Core Ultra 7 258V with 32GB of on-package LPDDR5X and a single soldered NVMe SSD slot, prioritizing thinness and battery life over upgradability.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Expert rating8.7 / 10

The Galaxy Book5 Pro 16 weighs 1.22 kg and carries a 16-inch 2880-wide OLED touch panel at 120Hz, a Core Ultra 7 258V, 32GB of LPDDR5X and a 76Wh battery. It suits portability-focused professionals, with Thunderbolt 4 and WiFi 7.

Memory is soldered, so choose the amount you need now. There is one M.2 slot already filled by the 1TB drive, and graphics are integrated, so it is not aimed at 3D or gaming work.

Best for

  • Portability-focused professionals
  • AMOLED display fans

Not for

  • Buyers who want to add RAM later
